The Mafias Daughter

Chapter 25

"Thanks for taking me away from that" I say quietly but load enough so that he can hear over the music in the car

"Were going back in a couple of hours though" He says firmly

"Yeah sure" I say and smile at him jokingly

"We are!" He says back

"Yeah of course" I say sarcastically but knowing that I will have to go back 

"Don't even try get out of going back, I'm not having your Dad being mad at me for your actions" He says seriously 

"Were are we going anyway?" I ask changing the subject 

"There's this cliff that's cool to look over thats near here. Theres not much else around other than that" 

"Cool" I say and look out the window

After a 5 minuet drive we park at the top of a cliff. I get out of the car and walk closer to the edge then I sit down

"Your Dad's not gonna be happy if you get your dress dirty" Lucas says as he walks next to me 

"I don't care. Come on, sit down" I say 

"Ugh, fine" He says and sits down next to me 

"It's nice" I say as we look at the view

"Yeah, it is" He says 

I lean on him and close my eyes, letting the cool breeze hit my face. 

"I'm not going to marry Igor" I say allowed but more to myself than to Lucas 

"Your Dad won't-" 

"Shut up about my Dad" I say and sit up 

"Sorry. But you should take him seriously when he makes threats, even if your his daughter I wouldn't bet on that keeping you safe" He says sadly

"Yeah, I know.  I hate my Dad" I say 

We continue look out at the view in silence, the moon is reflecting on the water so it looks really beautiful. 

*ring ring ring*

"Shit, it's your Dad" Lucas says bringing his pocket out from his phone 

"Ugh" I say and take the phone away from Lucas 

"Dad" I say as I accept the call

"Amelia. Where are you?" He asks sounding stressed

"Were coming back soon" I say rolling my eyes

"No, don't. Get Lucas to take you straight back home. Don't make any stops and call me if you notice anyone following you" He says fast

"Ugh okay, bye" 

"Bye" he says the hangs up

"We need to go. My Dad said we have to go straight home and call him if anyone is following us" 

"Shit, okay lets go" Lucas says helping me up as we run back to the car

Lucas starts up the car and we speed off in the direction of home. 

"I wonder what happened" I say worried

"Yeah, probably the deal went bad or something. Or someone pulled a gun at the ball" Lucas says adding the last bit on so that I would worry less because then it's less likely that anyone we knew was involved but it didn't help

"Yeah" I say unconvincingly 

The drive home past surprisingly fast, probably heavily due to the fact that Lucas was definitely speeding. 

"Do you think anyone else is already here?" I ask Lucas as we walk into the house 

"I'd be surprised if they were, we should of been ahead of them by a lot" 

I don't say anything but we continue to walk into the house. There's a few guys around my age sitting on the couch watching a movie so me and Lucas join them. 

I try to just watch the movie instead of thinking about what happened but it doesn't work. 

I'm very angry at my Dad but I also don't want him to die or get seriously injured. 

The movie finishing right about when I hear a whole load of cars driving down the long driveway. I run to the door to see my Dad but when I look out the door I don't recognise any of the cars. 

"Hey Lucas, since when has anyone had colourful cars in this house?" I ask with the door open. 

Lucas comes up behind me saying that a few people have red or blue cars. 

"Shit" He says and slams the door. "That's the Russian mafia. Shit shit shit. No one's even here. Lia run up to your room but turn left when you get there, go into my room and hide in one of my closet in one of the big draws, you should be able to fit. Don't come out unless you hear my voice and don't lock the door, they'll know your there if you do that just shut it behind you". 

"Okay, wait what will you do!?" I ask stressed

"Don't worry about me. Just go!" He says giving me a little push towards the elevator. 

I run inside and press the floor that my rooms on.

The elevator doors closes just as I hear a big round of bullets being fired.
